“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I actually have a female aquaintance who'd probably jump at it (or on it), but at my age my abilities are not what they were.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Well at least I've had a good laugh tonight.
I flog me nads off in a factory for the minimum wage, which I have Labour to thank for, I suppose. The Tories said it would put millions on the dole - which it didn't.

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

You more or less answered the question. Damn if you do, and damn if you don't talk about it.I can think of a few but people never ever talk about how they make their money, ofc there's always the odd bragger. But in general they keep shtum! There's always me that is very very interested in knowing about it
I had a funny experience on the 1st of Jan. My brother in law passed by for our traditional beginning of the year family dinner. Very few people in the family know what I actually do for a living. Most still think that I still work for my previous employer, and I never bothered to update them. Anyhow, we were playing some music and my brother in law noticed that I had a Caiman DAC and a Capella headphone amp. So he commented that I had treated myself to one of each as a Christmas present. But then he saw the name Beresford and it sort of hit him that there might be a connection somewhere. He was quite shocked that I was the same person that he had seen mentioned on forums and on ebay from time to time. I had never made it an issue to let my in-laws know what I do for a living these days.
